and how she started her business when I lived in Charlotte NC. Olive began taking some entrepreneurship classes at CPCC in Charlotte to help get her family seasonings off the ground.
I enjoyed reading how she got started and how she got her packaging together and started getting her items in heath food stores. Please read on to learn more about Olive's journey into entrepreneurship. Olive says...
The idea behind our seasoning blends was born in the beautiful Caribbean island of Barbados. Whenever we visited my in-laws, my father -in law would use his special blend of fresh herbs and
spices from his garden, to make a crisp and fragrant seasoning blend. He would use his herb blend to marinade and season chicken, fish, beef and vegetables. He especially uses it to season the local favorite dishes of "Pudding and Souse" and "Bajan Fish Cakes".
Robert (father-in law) shared his seasoning recipe with me.
I began to create other blends using various fresh herbs and spices. After receiving an overwhelmingly great response to
many of the food made with my fresh herb blends, Bushelle Seasonings was born (named after Robert of course!).
All of our herb blends are made with fresh herbs and spices.We
combine fresh and natural ingredients to create unique and tantalizing flavors.Our mission is to provide a healthy and fresh alternative to seasonings.

In the race to the relaunch, DC's "Flashpoint" hits its half way point. With the trio of Flash, Batman, and Cyborg hunting for their hopeful Kryptonian savior, can this issue make it to the finish line without falling flat on its face?
Take the jump, and find out!
Flashpoint #3 (of 5)
Writer: Geoff Johns
Pencils: Andy Kubert
Inks: Sandra Hope
Colors: Alex Sinclair
Letters: Nick J. Napolitano
Editor: Eddie Berganza
Publisher: DC Comics
Rating: Teen
Story Pages: 26
Cover Price: $3.99 USD
Previously, in Flashpoint: Eobard Thawne, the Reverse Flash, has tampered with time. Many things have changed; Cyborg is America's Greatest Hero, the Amazons are at war with the Atlantians, Thomas Wayne is the Batman, and Barry Allen is not the Flash, but not for a lack of trying. When we last left Barry Allen, his attempt to recreate the incident that made him the World's Fastest Man went horribly wrong, and left him severely burned atop Wayne Manor.
Getting the orders to stand down from the President of the United States, America's greatest hero Cyborg, is approached by Batman, and the rejuvenated Flash. The trio will have to hunt down their only hope, the man who fell to Earth and killed 30,000 Metropolitans – the secret trapped within Project: Superman.
The comic's focus is somewhere else, the coherent story that should be here isn't. The lack of focus from such a writer as Geoff Johns, is just disappointing. Characters show up that serve no recognizable purpose, and in the end, they do not advance the story. Their appearance seems only to give the overwhelming number of tie-ins, a minuscule foot hold in regards to their relation to the main story of "Flashpoint".
Since the first two issues seemed to move at The Turtle's pace (a Flash villain ladies and gents), I expected things to ramp up as "Flashpoint" hit the middle of the series. Unfortunately, the third issue is still too slow for it's own good. Though things do happen in this issue, it feels like this really should have been the second issue rather than the third. I expected Johns to be able to get up and go when it comes to storytelling, but so far "Flashpoint" has not been where all the action is at.
The pencils by veteran artist Andy Kubert were, in some parts, lacking. His depiction of the emaciated "Man of Steel" seemed to be illustrated by a different artist. In all honesty, it looked like Mark Bagley art that had been whipped up at the eleventh hour. Superman's anatomy was all wrong, Kubert's attempt to illustrate the gaunt, weakened Superman is just visually abrasive, and out of place.
Though this thought crossed my mind after reading the first issue, this issue brought it to a head. The look of Dr. Thomas Wayne, who is the Batman, doesn't reflect a man that would be at least 20 years older than his son. Adding scruff does not substitute for age.
As for the inks in regards to this issue, an inker is a artist just the same as a penciler, they should be held at to the same standard. Sandra Hope provided this issues inks, and her inability to identify, and correct visual irregularities generated by Kubert is something that should not have happened. As a inker you have to embellish, and accentuate the pencils that are provided. Blindly inking pencils, with no considered effort, just makes you a tracer.
"Flashpoint" so far comes off more as a means, to an end, rather than a honest, wholehearted effort to tell the best story possible. This comic from creators with such pedigrees as theirs means it could be so much better, but sadly, its not. Now even though the standard set by these creators in the past hasn't been lived up to, it's not wholly irredeemable.
It is after all a out of continuity event, that may have some impact upon the rapidly approaching relaunch. But even with this knowledge, the story is still quite slow, and the "fat" that encases it needs to be trimmed away. If you are a completist you will be buying this comic no matter if the story is going nowhere in a hurry, or how awkward Superman looks. If you are a person who just loves Andy Kubert's artwork, you may be in for a disappointment due to Kubert's unimaginative display of line work in this issue.
Overall, issue three was middle of the road, barely, and as whole, the story has gone down hill since issue one. In closing, Flashpoint #3(of 5) receives 2.5 Stars, out of 5.
13 Comments
I was thoroughly entertained. Yes, there were a few too many cameos by characters who were there to draw you into the tie-in books, but it was this issue where I felt like the Flashpoint story/universe finally got some traction. The sight of an emaciated Superman was heartbreaking and the thought of a Superman who wasn't raised by the Kents but was instead tortured, malnourished and experimented-upon is terrifying. I really can't wait to see what happens next.
I have to disagree with several of the points on this review. I had no problem with the art, although it looked more George Perez like toward the end of the issue.
There are several points of the story that serve as good plot devices. Barry Allen's explanation to Batman as to why he simply couldn't "fix" what Reverse Flash had done. Barry not being "up to full speed" access to the speed force is also important as he will have to reassemble the JLA in order to accomplish what he needs. The characters from The Resistance begin to "graft" in the Wildstorm folks into the mix and we begin to see some of the places of other characters. It seems Nate Adam is not the Captain Atom we know and that General Sam Lane is the person in charge of the Project: Superman. The fact that Krypto was examined down to his skeleton was, quite frankly, chilling and hopefully not something that says in place in the Superboy series.
Barry Allen and Bruce Wayne have always been on the opposite ends of the spectrum and it's good to see Barry being more agressive and confrontational with these "darker" versions of his friends and their families in this reality. Not only that but he will now have to try to lead a bunch of people that have specifically spent their entire "existence" answering to no-one but themselves or either the highest powers.
I'm finding this series more enjoyable so far that Brightest Day, which moved a bit too slow at the start and too fast at the end for me. My rating would be more of a 3.5 out of 5. Plus, Barry Allen saying "hit me again with the lightning" was just hardcore.
Yeah, I actually dug it quite a bit. I'm with you on the art (if only about how Thomas should be aged more… more in the realm of Millar's Return's), but all in all I liked the general consistency. As far as the "cameos" go, I feel they will be playing a larger role going forward. I hope their inclusion now is to mitigate an "out of nowhere" inclusion later… making people feel that they NEEDED to read the tie-in to now they were even involved till the last minute.
Two and a half is harsh, I would have given three and a half, but that's just me.
I'm guessing that Batman in the "old" DCU was in his 30's so Thomas Wayne could be in his mid-50's. Being 48 myself I can tell you that if you stay in shape someone wearing a Batman costume with only their chin and mouth showing would only have grey stubble and some lines as an indicator of their age. I think the point where they are rappelling and Wayne remarks that he's "old" points this out without the need to take away from the visual image of an intensely haunted, angry man that's driven by pure rage.
I have to disagree too, the issue was great to me. Barry getting struck by lightning again was pretty bad ass. While the pacing of the issues was slow, it was still very entertaining. Seeing Superman weakened was pretty sad, and im interested to see what kind of person he is now that the Kent's havent raised him; and who is behind the second door?
Major spoilers reviews used to give the entire scope of what happened in the comic, then judge the art and then give the reviewers opinion about the comic. You only talked about what happened in the comic for a paragraph, give us more! This is major spoilers, we expect to be spoiled.
I loved this issue! Also, in the Knight of Vengeance series, Thomas Wayne looks pretty old without his mask, and you can't tell he's an old man when he has his mask on.
The Superman reveal was horrifying. A hugely emotional moment. To see what they've done to Kal, the realization that he's never seen the sun… it was a very strong moment I will not forget in a hurry. And, also, I've been following the other Flashpoint series, and there's very little actual reference to them in this series. You can SO ignore them and stick to this one.
I like the story. It's a good story. I'm glad to be reading this story.
Despite missing the hell out of Wally.
Krypto's skeleton is still creeping me out.
ookay so a dead dog, a crazy guy who keeps trying to blow himself up with lighting, twice!, and a bug eyed, big handed superman that a stick insect looks fatter when compared to and a un aging batman all seem good to you guys? seriously? i mean come on anybody in they're right mind would think that the story may just contain a few strange ideas in it, am i right or am i right?
Of course it has strange ideas.
What else would grab out attention?
Imagine waking up and discovering a longtime friend of yours has had his history changed. That he's been a prisoner since they day he was born. That he's never seen SUNLIGHT. That the strongest, bravest person you know has nothing but terror and fear coming out of his eyes. Oh, and that a bunch of scientists have turned your favorite dog into a skeleton.
(btw. Krypto was Subject 3. Kal, Subject 1. The guy in the Project Superman series is Subject 0. Does anyone know who Subject 2 is? Because Kara only arrived on earth about two, maybe three decades after Kal did)
I enjoyed Flashpoint 3 also. Thought it was the best so far and FINALLY made this event feel like it's worthy of its billing. Didn't really buy Cyborg being forcefed as America's greatest hero initially, but w/ even Barry picking up on his differences, I'm all in. Does seems like w/ only 2 issues left, everything will be sloppy and rushed, but I hope not. Big moments/surprises for me were: 1) Barry being a badass (Wally will always be my fave, but…) , 2) Cyborg's swagger (hope he's drawn like this by Lee and not the "lego-man" look on Justice League cover, 3) emo-Supes, 4) Krypto bones, 5) GRIFTER! Also, can't forget Thomas Wayne's slow arse computer in budget batcave. LOL Dial-up to save money, perhaps?
I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed Grifter in the comic. Gotta say it surprised the hell out of me.
I disagree with this review. I think issue 3 gave us a better story then issue 2 (although it was a slow issue but I would say that the ending was entertaining) and makes Flashpoint finally up to pace with its namesake.
Things are beginning to add up and albeit having only 2 more issues to go, I'm hopeful that in the end it would be a satisfying event. But that's only if you can see the bright side of things. The world itself in my opinion has been an engaging one, shaking up the characters a bit and giving us a nice "what-if" DCU.
Well all in all I would have at least given it 3 stars, 3.5 in my books as I'm enjoying Flashpoint.
I'm glad you other commenters spoke up here, I've yet to read this, but based solely on my tastes and the reviewer's, there's quite a gulf between them. I usually find Larry's reviews to have a bit of a pessimistic/negative tone, and that very well just could be that we don't share similar views on books which is perfectly fine. But since this is a big event, I was hoping to hear another point of view. At least people are talking, which is always good for a site like this. Cool though, I think I'll check it out, I'm down for seeing Barry get struck by lightning.

La fortuna è reciproca! Anch'io spero di incontrarti presto in Italia, carissima Alice Teh: così m'insegni qualche parola in malese: conosci Sandokan, il protagonista dei romanzi dello scrittore veronese Emilio Salgari?
Just like that—thanks to Maristella Tagliaferro and her message above—I was introduced to the world of Sandokan created by the Italian author Emilio Salgari. I immediately researched Salgari and his Sandokan, and found out that it was translated to Malay in 2010 and launched in collaboration with the Ambassador of Italy in Kuala Lumpur. I blogged about this on Monday. It is one of the two Italian stories ever translated to Malay in Malaysia. The other Italian story is Pinocchio by Carlo Collodi, which is already well known here.
|Snapshot of the book cover and the first chapter
I was at work when the package arrived, so today, two buses later and some walking, I brought home the book I collected from the Poslaju. I ordered it online from Institut Terjemahan Negara Malaysia (ITNM) on November 10, and the book arrived today. Thank you, ITNM!
I find it very interesting (and truly honored to be a Malaysian) that an Italian many centuries ago, chose Malaysia as the premise and created a fictional character that became very famous in Italy. More about Sandokan soon!

Course Duration: 47 Weeks.
Course runs Mon-Thurs 08.00-16.30, Fri 08.00-12.30
This extensive course, 47 week Furniture Making & Design, is aimed at teaching all the necessary skills and elements of joinery and furniture making, to enable you to go on to both design and construct your own, individual items of furniture.
Divided into four clear stages, this course will develop your understanding of wood and joinery techniques, while working in our dedicated workshop alongside expert instructors on a number of challenging projects.
Stage 1 is exactly the same as followed by students on the award winning Boatbuilding Course. It introduces you to different types of wood and their properties, the use and care of tools and wood preparation techniques, basic joints and setting out.
Stage 2 builds on the understanding of timber and of basic furniture construction techniques, and gently introduces you to the draughtsmanship and geometry techniques needed.
Stage 3 starts the project modules, with the construction of a bedside unit, chest of drawers, table and chair.
Stage 4 this is the big final project to showcase your skills. There are a number of items you can chose from including a Welsh dresser or Roll top desk. Other items of furniture that you might particularly want to construct can also be considered as a final project.
Tools and Materials
You will need to provide your own overalls and work wear and you will need your own set of hand tools – which should be of good quality, but need not be new. The College will let you have a tools list prior to your start of the course and can order tools for you to be ready for the start.
Materials required for stage one (the first 12 weeks) are included in the cost of the course. There after materials are charged at list price. You keep all the exercises, projects and furniture you make during the course. Apart from the above, there are no additional costs, other than your living expenses.

Irina Leyva-Pérez, "Revisiting the past - The paintings of Gustavo Acosta," Wynwood 2:4 (April 2, 2009).
Gustavo Acosta has been identified as an artist of "individualistic" tendencies (Camnitzer, 1992, 264) by virtue of his aesthetic position, which defines painting and its conventions as basic foundations for discourse. This stance is similar to that of other painters of Acosta's generation, such as Carlos Alberto García, Eduardo Rubén, and José Franco. As a participant in the 1982 Landscape Salon in Havana, Acosta approached—under the influence of American conceptual artist Roger Welch—unexplored areas of the Cuban cultural landscape in drawings that referenced photography. In his 1983 exhibition, Expreso Matanzas-Cienfuegos (Matanzas-Cienfuegos Express), he depicted images taken from old photographs and tourist postcards: train stations, abandoned trains, and rural way stations, painted in gestural strokes that seemed to drop a veil of nostalgia or forgetfulness between the viewer and the image. In 1984, he was awarded the Artistic Drawing Prize in the First Havana Biennial for this work.
Around 1989, Acosta's interest turned toward the Italian metaphysical painting of such artists as Giorgio Morandi and Giorgio de Chirico, and toward the evocative works of Giovanni Battista Piranesi. In contrast to the 18th-century Italian aquatint master, who revered archaeological ruins, Acosta creates—without use of photographic references—architectural spaces that hint at mechanisms of social control: empty squares, solitary rostrums and flags, the Colosseum, or buildings similar in style to the Casa del Fascio in Como, Italy, designed for Mussolini by modernist architect Giuseppe Terragni. In these settings there is no visible trace of human presence. A dense impasto, generously applied, contributes to the gloomy, menacing atmosphere superimposed on an intricate, cell-like structure. "In the dramatic, theatrical painting of Gustavo Acosta, the color black shares its ominous dominion almost equally with other elements. Its effect on the viewer cannot be isolated from the effects produced by the titanic proportions of the architecture, the austere eclecticism of their columns, staircases, streetlamps, and flags, the inhuman emptiness of the settings, and their vast and immeasurable spaces" (Hernández, 1991, 4).
Titled Los Caminos de Roma (The Roads to Rome), this series of paintings was featured in Acosta's solo exhibition of the same name, held at Castillo de la Real Fuerza in 1989. Two years later, it was expanded in Las Sugestiones del Límite (Suggestions of the Limit), Acosta's last exhibition in Havana before his departure for Mexico. Urbi et Orbi was exhibited in that show. Its subject is the Tallapiedra power plant near the port of Havana, a neoclassical building designed in 1905 by the French engineer Georges Carpentier, father of celebrated Cuban novelist Alejo Carpentier.
A photograph of the plant, which Acosta had manipulated for a possible LP album cover, served as a visual theme that was later repeated in several paintings. In Urbi et Orbi, the artist sketches the station with spare strokes. He excludes the neighboring railroad, elevated several feet above ground level, as well as other, more modern structures next to the plant. The building looms in solitude, almost derelict, surrounded by deep, dark shapes and projecting no light. The noisy chimneys, which usually spout black smoke, are quiet, as if the building were immersed in a motionless, fixed time, from which there is no return.
In 1990, the former Soviet Union and its political system fell apart. The fuel supplies that the Eastern Bloc had been sending to the Caribbean island were reduced to a minimum. For Cuba, this marked the beginning of the so-called "Special Period." During years of scarcity, without the spare parts to fix frequent breakdowns, the Tallapiedra power plant became the popular symbol of an obsolete technology—incapable of illuminating the city nights or the dreams of several generations of Cubans.

Quality cooked-to-order boiled seafood with good appetizers. Great earthy feel to this place too. Prices are quite reasonable too! The location really sticks, however.
My wife and I enjoyed a nice quality seafood meal (fresh boiled shrimp) with sides of gator bites, onion rings, and sliced potatoes. Enjoyed a couple of beers with the meal. The service was warm and helpful and staff visited the table several time checking on meal and drink. Most people there were eating the standard bucket of crayfish that...

Fire Awareness Training V2 Course Contents
1. Fire Health and Safety Training: The Nature of Fire
To begin, we cover the nature of fire – how it works, and the different ways in which it can spread; we also cover smoke and the dangers it poses. This introduction is important for users so they understand what behaviour to expect from fire and smoke. It will help in the process of keeping the workplace safe.
2. Fire Health and Safety Training: Fire Signage
Health and safety signs can save lives – they are used to communicate important messages to prevent injury or give instructions in an emergency. This section identifies the different types of signs you may see in the workplace; we define what they look like, what they mean, and our Traffic Light System provides a simple way to remember the different types.
3. Fire Health and Safety Training: Fire Hazards
In this section, we discuss the potential fire hazards that can arise in the workplace – covering ignition sources, flammables and combustibles. We also discuss certain working practices that need to be implemented to avoid creating fire hazards.
4. Fire Health and Safety Training: Emergency Procedure
This section explains what action to take in the event of an emergency. This step-by-step process includes raising the alarm, calling emergency services, and an evacuation procedure. We also explain what you should do if you're unable to escape in an emergency, including a demonstration of the "Stop, Drop & Roll" technique.
5. Fire Health and Safety Training: Portable Fire Extinguishers
To conclude our programme, this section teaches users about when it's safe to fight a fire, and when it's NOT. We provide demonstrations on how to use the five common types of fire extinguisher, as well as fire blankets. Users learn about the different "Classes of Fire", and which extinguisher to use on each class.
Fire Awareness Certificate
This Fire Awareness Training course concludes with a 20 question multiple choice test with a printable certificate. In addition, brief in-course questionnaires guide the user through the sections of the training and are designed to reinforce learning and ensure maximum user engagement throughout.
As well as printable user certificates, training progress and results are all stored centrally in your LMS (Learning Management System) and can be accessed any time to reprint certificates, check and set pass marks and act as proof of a commitment to ongoing legal compliance.
What does my certificate include?
Your Fire Awareness Certificate includes your name, company name (if applicable), name of course taken, pass percentage, date of completion, expiry date and all relevant approvals.
Legislation relating to Fire Safety
The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) order 2005
The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) order 2005 states that the responsible person must ensure that their employees are provided with adequate safety training:
The responsible person must ensure that his employees are provided with adequate safety training . [this must] (a) include suitable and sufficient instruction and training on the appropriate precautions and actions to be taken by the employee in order to safeguard himself and other relevant persons on the premises; (b) be repeated periodically where appropriate
Fire and Health and Safety legislation requires employers to provide fire training for ALL staff by law. It's good practice for employers to train staff at least every 12 months. Empowering your staff with the knowledge and understanding of how to act responsibly in the event of a fire and raising awareness of potential risks and hazards will ensure you operate within the law and protect your workforce and business against significant losses as a result of a fire.

In an all-digital world, students need a change from the traditional "Chalk and Talk" methods to a fast paced "Drag and Drop" methodology. Rather than trying to shoehorn the students into a paradigm of learning that may be behind the times, the goal of our educational tool is to engage them on their own terms using technologies that they know and love. With kids at young ages participating actively on websites like Club Penguin, PBS Kids and many more, the young demographic is becoming very computer and Internet savvy. Many educational websites focus on aspects of gaming to engage students. MediaChalk, however, engages students in project-based learning by using the thrill of the Internet, cartoon images, stimulating music, and so much more. Teachers have seen first hand that this 21st century technology increases productivity and student achievement.
MediaChalk is very simple to use. We understand today's teachers are over-leveraged and don't have time to learn difficult programs. We understand that if it is difficult or time consuming to learn, teachers will not implement the program or continue to subscribe to our website. For that reason, our website is created for teachers and students to pick up and learn in a matter of minutes. We have listened and will continue to listen to our teachers and develop what they need and want in an ever-changing technological world.
A report entitled "Learning in the 21st Century: A Trends Update" provides new and timely data on the growth of online learning in America's schools. This report published several key findings in the Trends Update section that point to a continued opportunity for double-digit growth in the industry. These findings include:
In order for educational platforms and tools to fully engage the students in the new century, it is clear current technology trends in entertainment and communications will set the standard.
You can use our tool and access our website on either a PC or a Mac. The MediaChalk website is completely online and doesn't require downloading any software. However, we do require that you have the latest version of the Internet Browser, Adobe Flash Player, and Adobe Reader. The Pop-up Blocker will need to be disabled.
In order to allow students to record their own voice narration, a microphone is required. If you don't have a microphone, movies can still be created and a computer-generated voice can narrate the stories.
Each school needs to allow the URL: http://www.mediachalk.com and IP Address: 220.127.116.11 on port 80 and 1935 through the local firewall. To access the functionality of all MediaChalk tools, this must be allowed.

The Decisive Moment (When to Click)
A while ago a friend made some very encouraging comments about my photos. She basically said she saw big improvements in my work. It caused me to stop and think. What has changed? What is it that caused her to notice?
In The Photographer's Eye Michael Freeman discusses one of photography's most famous expressions "the decisive moment". It originates from Henri Cartier-Bresson, a famous French photojournalist, who took it from the 17th century Cardinal de Retz, who wrote, "Il n'y a rien dans ce monde qui n'ait un moment decisif," ("There is nothing in this world without a decisive moment"). Henri Cartier-Bresson defined it for photography as follows:
"Inside movement there is one moment at which the elements in motion are in balance. Photography must seize upon this moment and hold immobile the equilibrium of it."
Michael Freeman explains "Whatever the action, whether it is a person walking through the scene or clouds gathering over a mountain, it will certainly have to move across the frame. The action therefore inevitably affects the design of the picture, because it alters the balance."
By observing and through trial and review you can learn when those moments are going to come. In our children watching the video example (which is a moment I was experiencing recently) I noticed that one particular part of the video really made them laugh. So I waited for that decisive moment to repeat itself then I clicked the shutter.
Remember my friend? I think one of the things she was noticing was my growing ability to capture the right moment. Here's some things you can do to help you discover those decisive moments:
After a long night of shooting at the Stone Arch Bridge in Minneapolis, I was headed back to my vehicle. I hadn't put all my gear away just yet (don't pack up until you've completely left the area). Behind me in the distance I saw a patrol car making its way onto the bridge. Knowing that a slow shutter speed to capture the city would also create a nice blur of the cars taillights, I setup my tripod and waited for the car to pass, then tripped the shutter. I made a few more shots on my way back across the bridge, but thought this was one of the better ones.
More examples, and why I chose the moment I did are available in

In January 2002, the Chair of the ACCME, Ronald Franks, MD, appointed the Task Force on Competency and the Continuum, chaired by Board Member, Dorothy Lane, MD. Other members of the Task Force included: Errol Alden, MD, Bruce Koeppen, MD, PhD, and Ajit Sachdeva, MD.
The Task Force was charged with identifying a strategic agenda through which the ACCME could,
- contribute to enhancing the effectiveness of medical education throughout the undergraduate, graduate and continuing medical education continuum;
- identify opportunities for collaboration, cooperation and synergy within the medical education community; and
- enhance the effectiveness of CME in the continuing professional development of physicians.
To fulfill this charge the Task Force gathered information from some of the organizations interested in the physician learner: the American Medical Association (AMA), the American Board of Medical Specialties (ABMS), the Council of Medical Specialty Societies (CMSS), the Federation of State Medical Boards of the U.S., Inc. (FSMB), the Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP), the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC), and the Citizen Advocacy Center.
The Task Force also heard from representatives from the CME enterprise, including the CME Directors of the CMSS Member Organizations, the Association for Hospital Medical Education, the Alliance for CME, and the Society for Academic CME.
Finally, the Task Force heard from representatives from the continuum of medical education, including the Liaison Committee on Medical Education (LCME), the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME), the American Board of Medical Specialties (ABMS), and the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME).
Coincident with the work of the ACCME Task Force, in June 2002, the Institutes of Medicine (IOM) hosted an education summit to discuss and ultimately produce its third report - Health Professions Education: A Bridge to Quality - the third phase of its quality initiative, which was launched by the IOM in 1996. The IOM Report sets forth a vision statement and five competencies that it believes all health professions must incorporate into their curricula in order to "bridge" the quality chasm that currently exists in the healthcare delivery system.
Based on its analysis of the forces impacting CME and physician learners, the Task Force recommended, and the ACCME Board of Directors adopted, a vision statement for the ACCME with respect to competencies and the continuum of medical education:
"To meet the needs of the 21st century physician, CME will provide support for the physicians' professional development that is based on continuous improvement in the knowledge, strategies and performance-in-practice necessary to provide optimal patient care. The expected results of CME will incorporate, as measurable outcomes, the desirable physician attributes recognized within the continuum of medical education."
Additionally, the Task Force made, and the ACCME Board of Directors adopted, the following specific recommendations which respond to the charge of the Task Force, and correlate with the IOM 2003 Report and the ACCME Strategic Plan:
- The ACCME will work proactively with its continuum partners - LCME and ACGME - to ensure that the physician-in-training and the physician-learner are met with effective education centered on the overlapping competencies of ACGME/ABMS and IOM. Such work will include:
- identifying common terms and definitions so that the expectations of the competencies are shared along the continuum;
- sharing experiences and tools as the competencies are incorporated into the accreditation processes along the continuum; and
- setting accreditation standards that are inclusive of the competencies and reward providers engaged in delivering that level of CME.
- The ACCME will collaborate with its accreditor partners (continuum and other health professions) on research projects related to the effectiveness of accreditation in ensuring/fostering effective CME.
- The ACCME will collaborate with its licensing and credentialing partners on research projects related to the effectiveness of accreditation in ensuring/fostering CME that assists in the maintenance of competence.
- The ACCME will collaborate with other health professions accreditors - e.g., the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) and the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education (ACPE) - to identify common terms, definitions, and shared values/standards. The ACCME will investigate the feasibility of a pilot project for shared accreditation where CE providers that plan/produce interdisciplinary/multi-professional continuing education might seek joint accreditation from ACCME, ANCC, and ACPE. In this way, they could make use of shared terms, definitions, and standards and emphasize the effectiveness of interdisciplinary/multi-professional teams in patient-centered care.
- The ACCME will be part of the representative group of health care leaders that AHRQ calls together to develop measures reflecting the IOM competencies, set national goals for improvement, and issue a report to the public evaluating progress toward these goals.
- The ACCME will actively participate in the IOM biennial interdisciplinary summit, beginning in 2004, which will call together health care leaders in education, oversight processes, practice, and other areas. This summit will focus on both reviewing progress against explicit targets and setting goals for the next phase with regard to the five competencies and other areas necessary to prepare professionals for the 21st century health system.
- The ACCME will review and modify, where necessary, its current compliance criteria, so that changes in knowledge, strategy or performance-in-practice are rewarded when achieved.
- The ACCME will review and modify, for the future, its accreditation Elements and policies to ensure that ACCME accredited providers are expected to and rewarded for facilitating life-long learning. Physicians' life-long learning is based on individualized needs assessment, and effectiveness is measured by the learning that occurs.
- The ACCME will add to its "Content Validation Value Statements" the expectation that accredited providers deliver education in support of the ACGME/ABMS Core Competencies, around specialty-specific curricula and in the context of the IOM Competencies.
- The ACCME will collaborate on or facilitate research projects related to the effectiveness of accreditation in ensuring/fostering effective CME.
Next Steps
The July 2004 meeting of the ACCME Board of Directors will focus on integrating these recommendations with other important ACCME recommendations and actions into a plan for change at the ACCME.

From the creative minds at Sportes, in Quebec, Canada, comes the Firewaall-003: a vertical fire heater, useful for ice fishing, hunting, or as an emergency warming station for 1 - 2 people. Made in Canada from solid stainless steel, the Firewaall packs flat, and assembles into a 34 cm high frame that holds logs and split wood in a vertical "wall" that increases exposed surface area, facilitates a hotter, more complete burn, and acts as a fire "reflector" used in bushcraft for radiating a ground fire's heat - allowing the Firewaall to disperse heat in a one metre radius.
A highly portable addition for scout troops, hunting parties, cross country skiers, bushcrafters, or others needing a warming station in cold, or inclement weather.
The Firewaall is comprised of four main components:
1 perforated base plate / combustion chamber
1 separator / wood rack
2 structural legs and dividers / wood rack
Firewaall Specifications:
- 100% made in Canada
- 2.4mm thick laser cut/folded 304L stainless steel

Bail-in At Your Local Bank – Part 2: The Derivatives Time Bomb
Series: Bail-in At Your Local Bank
With no fanfare and little to no media coverage, your government has just put in place a mechanism to use your deposit money to bail-in a failing bank, like what happened in Cyprus a short time ago.
The derivatives market, the trigger of the 2008 global financial crisis, has since gotten even bigger and more concentrated into fewer hands. A mutually assured destruction awaits the global economy next time it goes off again.
Herded along by the Financial Stability Board, governments of leading economies endorsed a framework during the past G20 Summit whereby depositors' money will be used to rescue a failing bank when the global derivatives casino blows up again next time.
G20 governments are quietly slipping bail-in provisions into law to make sure that next time a too big to fail bank blows up again by derivatives it will be rescued using depositors' money, in the name of protecting the taxpayers.
Financial derivatives are financial contracts in which the promised payoffs are derived from the performance of another underlying entity. The underlying entity can be an equity (such as an individual stock or a stock index), interest rate, credit or c …
In Part 1 we described how the concept of bailing in depositors' money to rescue a failing bank was unceremoniously agreed upon by the leaders at the last G20 summit in Brisbane. We also argued the successful trial run (successful, as in no subsequent riots, no politicians hauled out and shot by angry mobs, no contagion of bank-runs in other euro zone countries in the aftermath) of said concept in Cyprus in 2013 has emboldened the establishment to conclude that Cyprus will serve as a template for the handling of failing banks in the future.
The fact that ordinary depositors became unsecured creditors and got pushed to the very end of the creditor line in order to save the creditor banks which are stupid enough to lend money to the failing bank, in and of itself, should be a cause for outrage.
The other provision enshrined at the G20, namely – derivative obligations by banks to each other are placed at the top of the heap and ahead of any other creditors – would ensure that a large number of mega banks will be affected and every depositor large or small will be part of the mutually assured destruction when this derivative time bomb blows, thanks to the fact that the opaque, unregulated derivative market is so large, so interconnected and so out of control.
Sound fear monger-ish?
To call this a derivatives time bomb actually does injustice to the term time bomb, because this 'bomb' had already gone off once, during the subprime mortgage crisis. To get a refresher on what derivatives are and how they almost brought down the entire banking system, check out this primer on derivatives.
One would think that after a near death experience, the only logical and sensible actions governments and central banks of advanced economies should take would be at least a subset of the following:
- Regulate, cap and reduce the size of derivatives and the shadow banking system.
- Re-institute the Glass-Steagall Act (wiki) or something similar, separating the risky investment banking from commercial banking where the safeguard of depositors' money should be the highest priority.
Nope, not a chance. In a world where regulatory capture is complete, the opposite actually happened. The world's total notional value of derivatives contracts was around $500 trillion prior to the financial crisis in 2007, a number which has since gone up to a staggering $710 trillion according to the BIS.
A recent survey of this derivatives minefield looks something like this:
Five banks in the US account for over 90% of all US outstanding derivative exposure – the same usual suspects of too-big-to-fail (TBTF) banks which all blew up and had to be subsequently bailed out in 2008. Each one carries more than $40 trillion in derivative exposure.
Context references: Total US national debt outstanding: approx $17.7 trillion, GDP of entire world: approx $75 trillion
JP Morgan Chase (derivative exposure / assets): $68 / $2.5 trillion
Citibank: $63 / $1.9 trillion
Goldman Sachs: $58 / <1 trillion
Bank of America: $55 / 2.1 trillion
Morgan Stanley: $44 / <1 trillion
Total exposure of US banks: $303 trillion
Notional amount of derivative contracts held by US banks
And the bank with the biggest derivative exposure of all is, drum roll……,
Deutsche Bank, with a grand total exposure of $75 trillion, an amount 100 times greater than its deposits and 5x greater than the GDP of Europe…..
North of the US border where they had apparently, at least on the surface but who knows what happened behind the scene, dodged the last bullet, the supposedly safe Canadian banks have also been busy building up their derivative portfolios.
Per this Canadian Credit Health Update (data to 2013 Q4):
Canadian banks have $21 trillion of notional derivatives, up +11.5% in one year.
Royal Bank of Canada reached a milestone: more than $8 trillion notional derivatives.
Over-the-counter derivatives (OTC, the riskiest category) growing even faster, up +16.4% in one year
Royal Bank (total notional / OTC notional): $8 trillion / $7.8 trillion
TD Bank: $4.3 / $4.0 trillion
BMO: $3.5 / $3.3 trillion
Scotiabank: $3.1 / $2.8 trillion
CIBC: $1.9 / $1.8 trillion
National: $0.5 / $0.5 trillion
I know some of you would cry foul, contending that the argument is not fair because these huge numbers are only notional values which net out to more or less zero. In a perfect world where liquidity is ample and all moving parts within a complex system are functioning as expected, that is certainly true. When the world gets less perfect, as what happens when some financial entity blows up somewhere, liquidity seizes up, or, gasp, one or more counterparties within the derivative chain becomes insolvent, this interlocking web would virtually guarantee that cascading failures would ensue. (check out this primer for an explanation of the difference between notional and net)
So they are right: notional exposures are not net exposures – until the chain breaks. When that happens, one's notional exposure is his net exposure.
If the derivatives market has grown to such a menacing size and had already blown up once, why is it not reigned in but growing like cancer instead?
In short, it's money and greed. The opaque and largely unregulated derivatives market exists primarily in the shadow banking system and generates massive and lucrative profits for the banks. This is a place where banks can legally and illegally feast on the wide margins between the bids and asks on these thinly traded instruments, front-run their clients, and, in the worst case of conflict of interest, initiate positions on clients' behalf and then have their in-house proprietary desks (or prop desks, trading for the company's own accounts) trade against these positions. If caught, as happened multiple times to all of these TBTF banks, they simply settle with the government with infinitesimally tiny penalties, paid for by shareholders and not executives and with no admission of guilt. Small costs of doing business.
Legally and moral ethics notwithstanding, there is little wrong with an enterprise trying to maximize its profits and returns on investment. After all, there is always the risk-vs-return continuum where individuals and businesses alike constantly try to determine their respective optimal balances.
The problem with this picture with the banks is that in their search for outsized profits in the world's biggest casino that is the derivatives market, your money is intermixed with the banks' risk capital. They (their executives) reap in mega profits as long as the market does not blow up. If the market blows up, the mutually assured destruction will assure that the governments and the public will bail them out.
So under the Zero Interest Rate Policy (ZIRP) orchestrated by the central banks controlled by these banks and administered by regulators captured by the same banks, you get this perversion:
- The banks take on unmitigated risks and reap maximum profits, backstopped by the taxpayers.
- Instead of risk free returns, depositors get "return free risks" by having their money in the bank.
Part 3 will examine the probable mechanism of how the newly enshrined bail-in concept will likely work by pulling in bank depositors' money when, the derivatives market blows sky high.

John Horn, a consultant with McKinsey & Co., thinks "war games" have much to offer business decision makers.
First, to be clear: Business war games don't involve playing war. They're analytical exercises that put a business through the paces of planning a strategic response to a worst-case scenario — anything from a devastating recession to the entrance of an aggressive competitor into the same market.
Admittedly, Horn makes his living in part by designing these war games. He thinks they can help us learn by simulating — albeit to a limited extent — real-world environments. The key to their effectiveness, however, lies in their design. There's a difference between using a game to teach, and trying to learn from a game that's designed to entertain.
What I like about Horn's analysis, is that it doesn't assume off the top that business is like a game, or that games can always or usually teach us anything useful about business. Instead, Horn questions that basic assumption, and concludes that business war games can, in some limited cases, with luck and careful design, be worth playing.
Horn warns that you can burn money, waste time, and make bad decisions if you play the wrong game or for the wrong reasons. Games aren't always appropriate, he says. They work best when you face a limited range of alternatives. They may be of little use unless you can accurately represent all of the important real-world stakeholders — not an easy task if one of those stakeholders is, say, the U.S. Congress, as one defense contractor realized. He also says you need different games for operational, organizational, and strategic challenges.
Business games, of course, aren't a new concept. Monopoly has been gratifying make-believe slumlords for three-quarters of a century. Although considerably less venerable than the real estate board game, Tradewinds, a computer game that puts players in the role of swashbuckling sea traders, draws its inspiration from TRS-80 personal computer games played circa 1985.
Monopoly and Tradewinds are just for fun. Cashflow 101, on the other hand, is an educational tool supposed to impart valuable business knowledge to players, who can then use the lessons to get real-world rich. It's the brainchild of Robert Kiyosaki, whose "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" franchise makes him one of the most listened-to small business advisers on the planet.
How well does it work? The game has been hugely successful, spawning players and clubs around the globe. But many players say that Cashflow's lessons are rudimentary and can be obtained elsewhere through conventional educational materials. Another criticism is that luck, in the form of dice rolls, plays a large part in the game's own flow. Finally, it's just too easy, with some players saying they can win almost every time. No game can be complex enough to truly model real life, it seems.
So where does that leave us? "Well-designed war games, though not a panacea, can be powerful learning experiences that allow managers to make better decisions," concludes McKinsey's Horn.
Should you pay McKinsey's (or another consultant's) stratospheric fees to set up a game for your own business? Probably not. But the article is a good read, and if you're trying to plan ahead for uncertain circumstances, it's a good reminder of what should go into your thinking as you run through your options.
